Subject: added support for Windows 2003 and 64bit arch
Hi, The CPAN module HTTP::BrowserDetect does not support, or rather, detect Windows 2000 Server, or 64bit architectures. Please find attached version 0.99 which I believe will add support for these systems, without breaking existing methods. Unfortunately I do not have access to all the systems I am trying to provide support for, in order to complete a full test. # new method in proposed 0.99 if ($b->win2k3) { print "you have a windows 2003 server\n"; } Regards, Andrew McGregor

Hi, Please don't reply this patch just yet. It seems Micorsoft's MSDN documentation doesn't match the reality of the UAS passed by IE: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/overview/aboutuseragent.asp#UATokenRef Show quoted text

yet a system running XP/64 identifies itself as 5.2 aka 2003. I am having "issues" getting Micrsoft to support me, update their documentation or otherwise confirm/deny the problem. Regards, Andrew McGregor

This appears to have been added to version 0.99, but this ticket was never closed, so I'm marking it as resolved now. :) Olaf
